The 'Barbie' part of Barbenheimer

The Sleepless Cinematic Podcast

Emilio, Madeline and Julian talk all things 'Barbie', the breezier of the two simultaneously released films whose portmanteau "Barbenheimer" became shorthand for the cinematic event of 2023 . Recorded a few days after its theatrical release, they share their initial thoughts and feelings, and do their best to break down this bright, ambitious comet of a film that is going for so many things. In doing so, Julian and Emilio share their separate NYC sightings of Michael Cera. Madeline thanks Greta Gerwig personally for also loving Charlie XCX. Why does Julian believe this will be one of the more influential movies to the next few years of cinema? Will Madeline finally cash out on her unopened, mint condition New Millennium Barbie that has been sitting in a closet for over 20 years? And will a similar themed Simpsons episode finally get Emilio to give the show a belated try?
